All students and staff now get at least 1 GB of M:\Drive storage space.

You can access your M:\Drive from any computer on campus. Your M:\Drive is good place to store files that are personal to you, for example your coursework, important documents etc. You can also access your M:\Drive off campus.

If you need more space, or want a quick and easy way to share files with friends or colleagues, then you can use your University OneDrive account. With this you get:

1 TB of cloud storage space

access to Office online for editing documents in a web browser

easy access on and off campus, and on your mobile device with the OneDrive app

the ability to seamlessly sync files to your personal computers

To access your OneDrive account, sign in to http://email.essex.ac.uk/ , click the top-left menu button and then select OneDrive:
